Oh, man, I had to tighten up on my spending when I tried to try to. to get my own place. Yeah, yeah. I had to make sure my credit was an attack and everything, man. So, yeah, when I stepped out of my mom's house,
Starting point is 00:03:34 I had to realize that I started taking life a little bit more serious financially. Facts. First time I tried to buy a car, I had no credit. And I was trying to go in there. And, you know, that first payment was crazy. So getting my credit right. With Chime, you could do that. With Chime, there's no credit checks, no annual fees, no interest,

It's everything I don't pray for, you know? I mean, like, it really is.

You know, something that I've been treating my kids, you know, I can't do one thing and tell my kids another, you know, with me having seven kids, man, you know, shout to my kids, man, that keep me motivating and pushing. Man, bro, this just goes back to my journey was different, you know. It took me 12 years to get here, and that's okay. A lot of people say, Jacob, you should have been there five years ago. Nah, bro, Jacob would have been fired five years ago.
Starting point is 00:08:44 You know, I need it to learn. I needed this, you know, to regroup. But, man, it's been good. then once again, it's none but all family at the end of the day. You know, you're not real family, man, if you don't fight with your family. So me and Solo, it's something special. I mean, come on, this is SummerSlan.

Starting point is 00:09:21 But, man, this family aren't at it, man. So shout out to WWE, mate, for taking the chance on the real one, man. Yeah, that's right. And it's paying the opportunity is, listen, if you can't pull up this weekend by the time you see, it's already happening, you know what I'm saying? Tap in on Peacock, though, you know, the Vibs live stream with WWE. But that's, you know, it's interesting that you say that, you know what I'm saying? Everybody hash out their family issues a little bit differently. I just happened to do this with a lot of people in the crowd.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yeah, yeah. And then not only that, we're not going to jail for it. You know, we're doing things the right. way and illegal way at this time yeah we talk about your family let's talk about the lineage man like y'all you got cousins uncles everything that's been running wrestling for years what's that feeling like man is at the end of the day uh you know um the feeling with my family besides the entertainment side you know man we as soon as we walk in the door man we drop everything at the dough. So, you know, just to be, just to see them be themselves, you know, on another,
Starting point is 00:10:23 besides the entertainment side, you know, just to see them as uncle or brother, you know, like when they see me, I'm, I'm, everybody knows me as Jake of Fatu, you know, but my family, bro, you know, they know me as Jake, you know, I'm Jake or Us or you've been me Yakopo, you know, that's what they call me in Samoan, you know, Yaakovo mean, you know, so it's real cool at the end of the day, especially because, bro, when we are together, because I'll be tripping out too. Like, damn, bro, that's tissue. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:51 Like, you know, but, man, I'm like, I didn't grow up wanting to wrestle, you mean, but to be a part of it now and to see how we're doing things now, to see how I develop now. Like I said, this, man, this shit weren't forced. It was happening organically, but, man, I'm so proud to be a part of it. I really am, bro. And, you know, first time when I did get beat by my family, you know, now first SummerSlam, Well, second Summer Slam solo main event at last year against Cody, which was awesome.
Starting point is 00:11:21 You know what I mean? Man, my brother took that on his back and did his thing. But now, instead of me helping him this year, now I'm about to kick his ass this year. Yeah. But, man, it feels good, though. Man, well, Roman and the best tag team in the world, the Uso's big gym, man. Mr. Yee, man. So, man, I'm very happy, man, very blessed to be a part of this.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And, you know, I'll be tripping out. Like, I'm a fan at the end of the day. You know what I mean? Like, even when I see Hunter, I'll be tripping, I'm back, man, what's going on, ain't you? I mean, that's my pause. But, man, I'm loving it, bro. I really am loving it, man. What about the next generation in the family?
Starting point is 00:11:59 Like, y'all bring them to step into it or? Yeah, well, you know, Jay, uh, Jay speaks about this, you know, my nephew, Jace, you know, he got a couple more years. He asked his dad the other day, or, you know, he asked his dad, you know, I know, I know Jason don't want to get into it. You know, he want to be a tag team, like how Dom and Ray Mysterio with it. So, you know, that's pretty dope, man. Shout out to my nephew, man.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Yeah, but my girls, man, my girls is definitely locked in with it. It's crazy because I was on the independence. You know, I mean, I mean, I was on there for a while, bro. My kids never used to watch me until I got to WWE. I'm like, what the hell? You know what the hell? My wife, man, how the kids do? She thought, oh, man, they was watching you, you, you know what?
Starting point is 00:12:40 And what about when dad was wrestling with no shoes on, you? But you know, bro, it's the grind. It's a struggle. And they asked me, I don't know if y'all see my independent stuff, but I was, I wrestle with no shooting for 12 years. Yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah, br. Hey, man, right, bro, I mean, bro, I was Uso Fletso back there. Yabed-doo-Dub do. Okay, I'm sorry. Hey, hold on, bro. That might be Scooby-Doo. Damn, wrong. I'm doing, brother.
Starting point is 00:13:07 You know what I'm doing, man. Yeah, but man, brother, just a, just a duck in a back. And it was funny. They asked, they told me. They said, hey, man, you know, you need to wear boots. You know what I'm comfortable with no shoes. I'll be, I'll never forget, bro. I called Paul Heyman.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I said, Mr. Heyman, I think I want to wrestle with no shoes. Man, he didn't hit me with the... All right, man, listen, man. It's either we could make money wearing no shoes or we could make a lot of fucking money wearing shoes. And I was like, man, sir, I don't even know why I called you next. Hang up, bro. Yeah, running out there, barefoot is crazy.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Man, bro. So to go back on that, they said, hey, bro, man, let's be 100, bro. You don't get paid that much on the independence. I mean, I had a household, my kids take care of. They said, Jake, why you never wore shoes? I was like, bro, I couldn't afford it. I really couldn't.
Starting point is 00:14:03 But thank God, you know, my, it kind of fit me because, you know, the small swathing the ass rinkers, rest of the piece to the small bulldozer made my uncle Eki, Eddie Fatu, you know what I mean? Yeah. Offen Sika, the Wild Simons, you know, so it was a part of the lineage, but, man, I'm not going to lie, bro. I was so happy and I didn't understand why I never did wear boots until I start wearing it. I mean, because there's no way I could see me walking out there now with those shoes, I mean.
Starting point is 00:14:29 That was your first shoe of boot, not a tennis fan of tennis. Well, no, it was actually flip-flops. Yeah, you're going to learn to you. I did a run-in-in-flops one time, bro. Yeah, we ran in. And, bro, it was at a flea market. And I swear that, Bray, you know, this is when I'm first getting a party, you know what I'm trying to get it in and get it out. One thing, if y'all coming up in the game, and I got to say this, bro, if y'all coming up, don't do it for the money.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Don't think you're just going to wrestle for a year or two getting older. I mean, social media is very powerful now. Yeah. But, man, bro, if y'all don't have passion for this, if y'all don't love this, I mean, if y'all can't take criticism or none of that, bro, you don't stay out the way with it. Like I said, it took me 12 years to get here, going on 13, and boy, I'm still learning around this thing, you know what I mean? For sure. And the dope part about you said the family aspect is all y'all taking it to the next level, so all y'all kids are going to be able to take it to the next level if they choose to. So you're elevating the family more and more about the, you know what I'm saying, about the hard work.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Absolutely, man. And it's also, and I tell my kids this all the time, you know, man, I just, I found what I was good at, you know? I really did. And thank God I had the jeans to actually do it because not all our family members have the jeans to come wrestle, you know what? So, you know, instead of drop kicking up here, they drop kicking us in our shins down here, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:15:51 So it's a little different, bro, I mean. But, man, when I found out I was good at it, man, I just stuck with it. Not only that, bro, it kept me out of jail, bro. But when I was 18, I went to jail. I mean, I couldn't take a shit looking at 12 other guys on the toilet, the toilet facing. Man, I wanted to play.
Starting point is 00:16:07 You know, shout out to my wife thought, bro, a real one, bro, because, bro, when I was locked down, If you don't got nobody when you go to jail, man, bro, you ain't getting no commissary, no money on the books, no letters, you ain't, you know what I mean? So, you know, feel good to come up with somebody, you know, who actually came up with me, you know what I mean? So, yeah, shout out to you. Hello. The Luzov family, the best family in sports, I mean, in the wrestling.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Oh, man. Yeah, hell yeah, I'm going to step on that. The lie. Hey, Lily said that. I was like, damn, man, I hope Roman in that man. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you know, y'all. Yeah, we're running right now.
Starting point is 00:16:40 No, that's a lot of dope wrestling family. You know, you got the Heart Dynasty. The crazy thing is Fatu actually means heart in Samoa. You got the Heart Dynasty up in there. You know, you got us, man. Who else, man? Man, oh, my gosh, I just went blank right now. But you got a lot of family, man.
Starting point is 00:16:59 The cool thing is even at the PC, you know, seeing Brian Pilman's son, Bob Buchanan's son there, you know, Santino Morella, you know what I mean? The snake, yeah, I mean, see his daughter over there. So it's kind of just falling down to, like, you know, everybody who had worked before. So it's just pretty cool not to just see the nephews and the nieces. You know, you got the Rock's daughter. Yeah. You know, so it's cool to see other family members, too.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I mean, because I went crazy when I met Bull Buchanan son at the PC the other day. You know, when we was over there training with Jelly Row. Shout out to Jelly Row, I mean, tapping in over there with us. Yeah. Jelly, bro about to wrestle. Man, she! I'm going to do his thing. I'm not sure when they were.

Starting point is 00:20:45 Each episode, I'll be asking eight wide-tail hunting pros, a focused, thought-provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access? Should you, that's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

Starting point is 00:21:22 San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long-term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community.
Starting point is 00:21:40 When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier, and we watched Ottawa against Chile, pouring rain, just watching the fans jumping up and down. I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life. Listen to San Diego FC Behind the Flow. Now on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Noah. I'm 13. And as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast.

Now you know with Noah de Barroso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you. It's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. When I'm watching everything.

Starting point is 00:28:04 Oh, man, this is always too much fun, man. We always ask people, you know what I'm saying, that profession? Like a crazy moment or a crazy match, obviously you don't have meant a lot of them. What's a crazy moment you've had in a ring that, like, people don't know about? Man, um, it was my first singles match with Jay Uso. Before the, as soon as the bell rang, I look at it when I go, what's next? He looked at me like, what's next? Lock up.
Starting point is 00:28:41 That's one of you. I mean, another one is, man, once again, I was wrestling with those shoes. It was the summertime. I mean, I was on the independence, and I was listening to swap me in a flea market. You feel me? Just trying to get my name out there. And, bro, it was so hot. As soon as we got in the ring, it wasn't even on wrestling mat.
Starting point is 00:29:00 It was a tart. Oh, man. The promoter got so hot at me. could stand up, my feet were burning so, I'll tell, I just,
Starting point is 00:29:08 fool as a bell ring, I just tell Brett, get on me, bray, that way I can lay down, but my damn back was burning too. And I just told Brett, man,
Starting point is 00:29:16 I was like, fuck this, bro, pin me. I was like, you can win the day. Because I'm going to live another day.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Oh, God. My boy took the under and the match. My boy, I don't know what the hell I was thinking, no, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:29 but now, brays, there's a lot of stuff that go on. You know, a lot of, crazy stuff, you know, man, bro. I don't shit it on myself, bro.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Oh, God. You're the second. Our truth. I mean, we're going to keep it one honey, I mean? We're going to, hey, bro, listen. Now, listen, we had our truth on here yesterday, and he said that everybody was just like, wait, what? What?
Starting point is 00:29:51 He's out of here to get. I mean, it ain't full on, like, yeah. Yeah, I mean, but, right, it happens, man. Hey, it happened, right? Like, hey. Did you take a bump in that and it happened? Or, like. Yeah, well, you know, bro, I ain't eating good the way I was eating back then.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I mean, but cheeseburgers and in-and-out burgers around that way with the jalapinos and stuff. So, I mean, it didn't go. It didn't come out to do that. So you were in the rain? Yeah, I was in the ring. Hit that back. Oh, shit. Hey, bird, what happened?
Starting point is 00:30:22 Everything good? You ask the bitch, one. You're like, he like, I don't know. I just have it in with him, man. That's the truth, man. Yeah. Keep 100, man. It's a part of your journey here.
Starting point is 00:30:42 No, that's the fuck. So now that you're in shoes now. Thank God. How do you go about, like, what you're going to wear for the match? Man, you know, um, all right, so I love wearing the T's and everything. WrestleMania was the first time that I started wearing those little baggy pants like that. Yeah. You know, um, the tights is cool.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I like it. just trying to, you know, just trying to find. I'm still trying to find it, though. Yeah. You know, I'm still trying to find it here. Shout out to WWE, man, for making all them T-shirts, man. Yeah, I mean, I don't care what it is. I don't care if what they look like, man, bro, just feel good to see a yada I mean on the T-shirt, you know, from there.
Starting point is 00:31:20 So, man, I'm loving the Penn Store what I'm wearing right now. I got hooked up with the boots. Shout out to Ray. Do I also make me and Raquel's boots? I mean, you know, he probably make another couple of everybody else's boots. but, man, man, brother, be coming through on clutch, though. But, man, bro, I'm still trying to find it, you know, I mean. I got some stuff popping, though, tonight, you know, for Smackdown.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Yeah. I'm going to take it back to the Rick Rood, you know, I mean. Okay, okay. Bro, I'm going to put your own face on your stuff. Oh, I ain't wearing your shirt. I'm about to wear my own shit. We're about to double back, though, man. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And the merch is fire, too, because, like you said, as crazy as you're going to, the fan base is only growing. So when you're out, you see you look in the crowd to see people rocking your tapping in with the brand. Crazy. Man, it's just, it's mind-blowing. Not only that, you know, I'm a fan of this at the end of the day. So, man, when I do see it, you know, I'll tell them thank you.
Starting point is 00:32:16 You know, because, man, it's like, okay, all the hard work. Yeah. The stuff that people don't see. You know what I mean? Not saying this is easy. Like, don't get it, you know, and this ain't for y'all. This is for everybody out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Don't think this is just wake up, come to work. We live in a lot now, like, man, the travel, the sacrifices, the time by ourselves, the days we spent at the airport, like, what, I said it yesterday, we're going to do it yesterday because we were at the airport from 11 o'clock, well, we're supposed to leave at 11, but it's just, bro, we're there all day. Yeah. You know, thank God for FaceTime. I don't know how my father and them did it back in, you know, with no FaceTime.
Starting point is 00:32:55 If FaceTime makes it easy, though, for the kids and for us to get through and everything, man. Yeah. But also walking out there, you know, and hearing them. chan, you know, me solo and the Uso's are real, you know, we're all Fattu's. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, man, Jimmy called it the other day. Man, feel good that, you know, for the, for the world to chant Fattu, you know?
Starting point is 00:33:17 And I didn't do that. Like I said, it just happened organically. The crazy thing was it started in San Antonio when they start chanting Fattu, but on another note, they was already doing that on the Indies, though. So when I heard it in WWE, man, I got emotional on it because it's like, Man, bro, like, man, we're here now, you know what I mean? So it's good, man. I'm very thankful.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Shout out to everybody, man, who've been purchasing all Jacob Fatoos shirts. Yeah. You know what I mean? Everything. All gas, no brakes. Yeah. I mean, even when people be talking bashing me online, shout out to the fans, bro, who be sticking up with me.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I don't even know y'all, bro, but I feel like I know y'all. Yeah, I got to tap in. I'm out of pocket when I grab one. Yeah, we got to grab one at the other show. Oh, no, breath, bitch. Don't worry, Brett, Sean, got him. We're going to support you for real. Yeah, that's the vibes for show.
Starting point is 00:34:10 We need that. Thank you, man. Man, it's always dope because, like, we all tapped in on the internet. So you see, like, independent wrestling, they'd be at the supermarket there. Yeah, yeah. Body slim, right, in the full court. It's like, people going about that day shopping out here. Yeah, why?
Starting point is 00:34:21 For the next level. I told you I was wrestling at the, at the swampy. Is that the craziest place where you got it, like, wrestling at? Man, say it again? Was that the craziest place you ever, like, you know how many time? Man, no, it was actually out here in New Jersey. It was outside of a bar. Oh, man, it was outside of a bar.
Starting point is 00:34:41 This is some wrestling shit or some real? No, no, no. I'm learning. I mean, it's kind of 50-50. It definitely ain't 5-20, so it's 50. But it was out here, bro. It was in New Jersey, and it was just, you know, bro, I'll show y'all after this, but man, we just came out of a, it was like a, at a park, a bar, and it was, you know, the little things where people are at the park, they got the tables, got the grill.
Starting point is 00:35:12 It's a canopy of it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that was our dressing room, brad. And walked out of the dressing room right to the ring and, you know, man, it's, it ain't really wrestling fans, y'am mean, but you got to go out there. I learn to go out there, rather there's five people or 500,000 people. Man, you go do it. you know, you go give all you got. During the pandemic, I think it really helped me
Starting point is 00:35:35 because, man, we were wrestling shows, but we had to wrestle because I needed to get paid, you know what I mean? But we would do it with no fans. And I was actually having fun, but that's when I knew, like, okay, I think I got something here, you know what I mean? Because I was really out there acting like there was people. There was nobody there but us during the pandemic. But, man, that really helped me regroup on my character type thing.
Starting point is 00:35:58 So, yeah, man, we've done. doubling back, though. But other than that, bro, it's definitely just the bar out here. Yeah. Yeah. You're definitely the bar out here in New Jersey, the swam meat. And, man, this is bro. We wrestle. If you come from the independence, man, you're going to have to go through that. You know, you're going to have to go through that ship. You know, bro, I don't wrestle for $20. Bro, I used to go back and forth arguing with people over $60. You know what I mean? But sometimes I had to do it for free, you know, because then again, that's what the passion comes from. You got to do it for free. And when they don't care what y'all say out there, like, okay you wrestle for a hot dog in a handshake
Starting point is 00:36:32 okay yeah so what now look yeah yeah now look what we at you know you gotta make those sacrifices right yeah I mean you gotta and at the end of the day I'm gonna do what I gotta do you know take care of my kids before here bro I was working at Walmart I was overnight working at Lowe you know what you're doing I was a guy I was the best
